According to Bernadette Wilson, the co-host that sparred with Ethan Berkowitz on the radio about the possibility of incestual marriage between a father and son, it’s all true according to an editorial she wrote in the Anchorage Daily Planet. Ethan had agreed with the idea when asked by her, hypothetically, that a father should be able to marry his son.
It was Monday, Oct. 13, 2014, Columbus Day. The topic was same-sex marriage. As I sparred with my co–host Ethan Berkowitz, I brought up the topic of incest. If the argument against incest was grounded in reproduction, and if reproduction was not a consideration in a same-sex marriage, then could a father marry his son?
Yes, a father should be able to marry his son, Mr. Berkowitz informed me. Surely, I thought, he could not be serious. Mr. Berkowitz went on to explain that ‘love is love’ and if it is through a marriage that a father felt he could best provide for, and exemplify his love for his son, then who are we to judge?
After more of an explanation than I could possibly wrap my thoughts around, I interrupted him and suggested he was crazy. Not appreciating the interruption or the labeling of his judgment, my co-host, who had been a friend and confidant, got up and walked out of the studio. It was a conversation I remember well and a day I will never forget.

The timing is awfully suspicious, so close to the run-off. Who is running Ethan’s and Amy’s campaigns?
